Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to address complications varying from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
